Notes.— (a.) The separate localities adopted for this Table should be areas of which the populations are
obtainable from the census returns, such as wards, parishes or groups of parishes or registration
sub-districts. Block 1 may, if desired, be used for the whole district; and blocks, 2, 3,
&c., for the several localities. In small districts without recognised divisions of known
population this Table need not be filled np.
(b.) Deaths of residents occurring in public institutions beyond the district are to be included in subcolumns
c of this Table, and those of non-residents registered in public institutions in the
district excluded. [See note on Table I. as to meaning of terms "resident" and
" non-resident."]
(c.) Deaths of residents occurring in public institutions, whether within or without the district, are to
be allotted to the respective localities according to the addresses of the deceased.
(d.) Care should be taken that the gross totals of the several columns in this Table respectively equal
the corresponding totals for the whole districts in Tables I. and IV.; thus, the totals of subcolumns
a, b, and c, should agree with the figures for the year in the columns 2, 3, and 12,
respectively, of Table I.; the gross total of the sub-columns c should agree with the total of
column 2 in Table IV., and the gross total of sub-columns d with the total of column 3 in
Table IV.
